Vulgate (Clementine): Fuit autem Jabes inclytus præ fratribus suis, et mater ejus vocavit nomen illius Jabes, dicens : Quia peperi eum in dolore.
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ ἦν Ἰγαβὴς ἔνδοξος ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἡ μήτηρ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰγαβὴς λέγουσα Ἔτεκον ὡς γάβης.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְהִ֣י יַעְבֵּ֔ץ נִכְבָּ֖ד מֵאֶחָ֑יו וְאִמּ֗וֹ קָרְאָ֨ה שְׁמ֤וֹ יַעְבֵּץ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר כִּ֥י יָלַ֖דְתִּי בְּעֹֽצֶב

Haydock's commentary

Jabes. That is, sorrowful. (Challoner)

There seems to be something wanting, as we are not informed who were the brethren of Jabes. (Calmet)

This name he received from his mother, while his father Cos, called him Othoniel. (Estius)
